Philip Seymour Hoffman's Oscar-winning, psychologically tormented portrayal of Truman Capote helped make this one of 2005's most critically acclaimed films, nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture. It tells the story of how Capote betrayed his principles and brought about his own self-destruction in the course of writing In Cold Blood, the non-fiction novel that would change the course of American literature. Catherine Keener costars in an Oscar-nominated performance as Harper Lee, Capote's childhood friend and soon-to-be published author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
